This is a great smartwatch! It's so lightweight and the bands are easily replaceable (a fatal flaw of my previous smartwatch was that the silicon band was not replaceable).

I've been wanting a smartwatch, but I was hoping for a less expensive option. This has all the bells and whistles of the more expensive version, but with a sporty look. It is VERY lightweight, I forget I have it on. The options (apps) are helpful. I love it.

I’ve been waiting for Apple watches prices to drop but when I saw fossil had this on sale I had to get it. Arrived safe and sound and easy to set up and charge. I’m still in the playing around phase but so far so good with all the functions

I'm very satisfied with this smart watch. It's easy to use, pairs easily. I did have difficulty - could never figure out how to get the phone so that I could talk through the watch, but that might have just been me.

Originally bought this for running. I was looking at other brands sport watch to track my miles but it was way more expensive. This does it for me but without having to pay more. Nice color options and a band you can easily change.

I bought this back in March and I use it every day. I love that I don't need to hold my phone every time I want to text back quickly or check the time. It has a 20 second hand wash app. I love everything about this watch.
If you're being honest with yourself you probably won't use all the features but it's so nice to have them. The feature I use the most is find my phone. I keep my phone on silent and when I lose it I simply press the button from the drop down and the phone rings and vibrates even though it's on silent. I misplaced my phone a lot unfortunately and this has been a life saver.

So.... I don't know if I have bad luck, or if Fossil smartwarches really do suck. The reason I say that is I bought this specific Sport model as a second attempt to try Fossil smartwatches for the first time. (The first one was a refurbished unit of a different model, so I thought I'd had bad luck with the first one, and that I should have known better and bought brand new.)
You're probably asking what happened. Well, with my very, VERY short experience with smartwatches from Fossil, both times I've noticed how their units are very quick to get overheated anytime anything remotely RAM-using is going on, like downloads of apps for example.
Now, talking about my experience with this Sport model in particular, I will say that I was trying to do a whole bunch of things at once on the watch, so that would make sense of the overheating. However, when all was said and done, and I wanted to start using the watch for normal use after all the downloads and updates, I found that this watch kept staying uncomfortably warm, like almost to the point I felt nervous about getting burned on my skin after long times of exposure on my wrist. I even went as far as restarting the device and letting it charge and not do anything on it to see if the issue would resolve. What was funny was that when I would remove the device from charging, it would already feel warm to the touch, and then it would stay that way, even if I wasn't actively using it.
Again, I could have just gotten a bad apple, but it surprised me how two completely different models from the same company were doing the same thing. Makes me question their manufacturing quality of their electronic smartwatches.
I will definitely be switching back to Apple for my phone and smartwatch after my Android phone dies. Yeah, their stuff may be a bit expensive, but for the many times I've tried to switch to Android, I've been reminded time and time and TIME again why Apple really is the best electronics company out there. I'm forever an Apple fan.

I got this for my 13 year old. Its nice and seems durable, but the ease of using the Samsung Galaxy watch is better. Also, the silicone band broke my sons arm out. Idk what they use, but the chemicals are not cleaned off the products before sale. He has no allergies.

Nice watch. It is durable. I don't like having to charge it everyday. It is a cool looking watch. It disconnects from bluetooth often and I find myself resetting the watch. It is swim proof too. I hardly ever take it off. It has a fit app in it to count steps.

I would have been angry if I bought it full price before it went down to $99.
I've had to reset the watch multiple times and each time, something doesn't work correctly - whether it can't connect to wifi to get updates, sensors don't work, won't connect to Google Play.. etc.
Still keeping the watch since all I really needed was a simple watch to show time and give me notifications since it's not convenient for me to look at my phone all the time (I always miss calls and texts).
Very lightweight and looks good.
Wouldn't recommend it to friends.

The battery life is just superb and I like not having to worry about charging daily. The e-ink monochromatic display is is easily readable and functionable and good in sunlight too. - that's what preserves battery life and I don't miss the color display- I have my phone for that. Some people want that color display and are willing to sacrifice battery life-- it's a preference for sure. I just love having a constant watch face again too in a traditional classic style while still getting my notifications and steps etc. Very pleased.

Slow, laggy and mediocre battery life. I prefer the Samsung Galaxy watch other than a lack of app support. Still looking for a great wearable but this one is just passable.
